There are many ways to treat your smile. But all treatments are custom planned just for you. At The Modern Orthodontist we believe the best way is to use the most current braces technologies along with a lot of love. Your smile is important to us, and it's our goal to have you smiling every time we see you. Come visit our Vancouver office today! What is the right age to get an initial exam?
It's never too late to have the smile you've always wanted. Adults and children have different needs when it comes to braces, and we've got them both covered. Straight teeth and a beautiful smile can enhance self-confidence at any age, plus improve your overall oral health.
Having straight teeth doesn't mean you'll just have a beautiful smile.
The proper alignment of your bite can relieve the stress and discomfort
felt in your muscles and teeth, and can prolong the life of your teeth.
With healthy teeth, you'll have more than one reason to smile.
Overbite is when the upper teeth excessively overlap lower teeth and overjet is when upper teeth are excessively ahead of lower teeth. Both can lead to gum problems or irritation, wear of the teeth, and can cause painful jaw and joint problems.
Underbite can occur when the lower teeth protrude past the front teeth. This can prevent the normal function of front teeth, which can lead to tooth wear. It can also cause painful jaw and joint problems.
Crossbite can occur when the upper and lower teeth or jaws are misaligned. It causes one or more upper teeth to bite on the inside of the lower teeth. This can cause wear of the teeth and/or asymmetrical growth.
Teeth crowding occurs when there is simply a lack of room within your jaw. When left untreated, overly crowded teeth can get worse. Crowding can make cleaning difficult and lead to plaque accumulation and tooth decay.
